Mr BEASLEY (West Sydney) (2:34 AM)
. - It is obvious, even in the last stages of the debate, that this measure is specifically designed to operate against the present Government of New South Wales. The contention of the Minister in charge of the bill that the provision is intended only to enable the matter to be reconsidered by the Premiers at the Loan Council is not borne out by fact. If that were the purpose, why should the bill continue for two years? I assure the Minister in charge of the bill that in spite of him this measure is the greatest advertisement that my party can have politically, and that it will help us considerably more than he imagines in the struggle that lies before us.
